Hello Lennart, first let me thank you for everything you do for the FOSS community. Sadly i have to point the other side out. You might don't like that, but this page http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds is the #1 page needed on our IRC support channel #fedora (I need to check if it's the all-time-high). I'm sure you don't like to read that, but PA isn't that perfect yet, from a supporters POV (even PA works very well out of the box here for a long time). We're a bit afraid you leave us with a systemd like PA if you find something else that enjoys you more. You're a very good coder and as well very good in pushing trough. Maybe you need (to learn?) to share the work that comes with all that a bit better. Or start to educate some people to be able to help you. And maybe listen a little bit to the people trying to help others in the front line. Thank you. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
